UK’s Financial Conduct Authority Looking at Mortgage Application Overhaul

Online mortgage broker Trussle is currently in the early stages of talks with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to potentially overhaul the mortgage application process; the plan that Trussle is pitching to the FCA is to help standardize documents needed in a format that they are needed in; Mr. Mahli told FTAdviser: “There’s an unnecessary inefficiency in the way mortgage applications are packaged and submitted, which varies wildly from lender to lender. Uncertainty is the last thing a buyer wants when making what’s often the biggest financial decision of their life.”; currently the FCA will not comment on talks that are in such a nascent stage.
